Where Are the World’s Billion Dollar Companies Located?
With a $60.1 trillion market cap, the U.S. stock market commands 49% of the global market share—and the highest concentration of billion-dollar firms.
To look at it another way, the U.S. has about five billion-dollar companies per million residents. This strength can be attributed to America’s technological progress, significant venture capital flows, and economic competitiveness.

Despite demographic headwinds, Japan follows next, with 404 billion dollar firms.
Under president Shinzo Abe, the Japanese stock market experienced significant reforms, boosting foreign investment and merger activity. Additionally, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has required companies to state how they plan to increase company valuations, in a notably undervalued market.
Ranking in third is India, seeing an explosive growth of large companies amid rising investor participation and infrastructure investment. Over the past five years, its leading stock market index has surged 137%—surpassing the S&P 500’s 98% gain.
China ranks sixth, with 216 companies valued at $1 billion or more. Overall, the Asia-Pacific region has the second-highest share of billion dollar firms after North America, at 30% of the global total. Meanwhile, Latin America and Africa have the lowest shares, at 3% and 1%, respectively.
